To Prove: In Tic Tac Toe, the probability of winning for the player who takes the first turn is more than the player who takes the second turn.

Proof: We try to simulate all the possible cases and find out the cases in which player First wins and the cases in which player two wins and the cases which results in a tie.

So, the probability of player1 winning is: 131184/255168 = 0.514 and the probability of player 2 winning is: 77904/255168 = 0.305 and the probability of a tie is: 46080/255168 = 0.181
